Favorite Dead T-shirt |
At every Dead show there were people selling one-off, original t-shirt designs that were many times screen printed by the artist themselves. One of my favorites was a skull-and-roses print, but as seen from behind and screen printed on the back of the shirt. (looking at the back of the skeleton.)
Worthy of mention, and it always cracks me up, is a spring tour shirt with Calvin and Hobbes that was misspelled across the back "Sring Tour". $5 special!
Anyone still have their shirts from way back? Still hanging onto them even though they have holes, stains, and are transparent? Every once in a while I will find one of my favorite shirts in the rag bin (my wife isn't too sentimental about shirts), and I have to stop and bow my head, it had a good (and trippy) life.

I still get a replacement for the "Air Garcia" shirt when one gets too dirty to wear in public. This also from the guy who did the "Still better than Phish" shirt.

Lesh, A Fine Bass Player on the front in the Miller Lite Logo, Bass Great Lesh Philling on the back.
I first bought this shirt in 83 and then got a new version every decade, the last one at an Other One (I think it was 2000?) show in Albany.

Re: Favorite Dead T-shirt |
Bought in a parking lot in the early 80s in Philadelphia, the artist put streaks of different colored paints on the shirt. Doesn't look like anything up close, but from a distance it is Jerry and Bobby playing. People at the shows would see it from far away and come up to me all the time asking where I got it. Still have it (can't throw any of them away).

Re: Favorite Dead T-shirt |
my favorite is just a grey T-shirt with the American beauty design on the front. made out of that super soft thin t-shirt material. Not hard like cotten. Only problem is my gut now prohibits me from wearing it. The shirt I keep wanting to get is the one that reads: 36,504 Songs 2,318 Shows 30 Years 1 Band.
If anyone ever sees me in a super loud busy tye die thing ESPECIALLY if it involves any dancin bears please feel free to walk up to me and slap me

Re: Favorite Dead T-shirt |
Ha--I had to laugh since as I read it I was saying "I need it hard to hang right" (no, this is NOT an opening for homoerotic humor...) and then you said exactly that, more or less. Soft is just too revealing.

I bought one of those shirts at this shop:
Pacific Paradise
1087 H st.
Arcata, Ca.
707 822-7143
Im sure you could order one from them. Tasteful tie-die with good colors imo.

Re: Favorite Dead T-shirt |
I do still have my favorite shirt - a Hanes large black t-shirt with pocket. We sold them at the Cap Centre and shouted from back of my truck: "Buy the shirt Jerry wears!". Swear to god he came on stage that night with a guatamalean shirt (I wasn't that high)- think someone in crew hipped him to it. Anyway, sold 2 shirts for $5 a piece, gave 1 away, and my buddy and I each took one out of the 5 pack.

Re: Favorite Dead T-shirt |
Donahue was from my hometown, always regret not getting one of his shirts, used to see him racking them out to dry. First name was Ed, I heard he passed away a number of years ago. He had some really good designs - all original
